Defined Enum's used in Function Calls don't seem to work anymore. Has something changed?

This an example of an Enum definition
VBA Code:
Enum XXX
    X1 = 1
    X2 = 2
End Enum

I will define a function I will call "Test
VBA Code:
Function Test(Arg as XXX)
   ' Some Code
End Function

When I type in
VBA Code:
Call Test(
all I see is
VBA Code:
Test:Display as XXX)
and no drop-down list appears where I use to see a Dropdown list where I could select either "X1" and "X2".

If you use a VBA non-Enum term like "Boolean" as in "Call Test(Arg as Boolean)", you see
a Dropdown list showing"True" and "False".

Any idea what I have done wrong, or has something changed in VBA?

I don’t understand how this is not monitored. I am a “Board Regular” and have been for years.

Could you please explain.

Thanks,

After much energy trying to figure this out, I find that if I start a new workbook, everything works fine. However when I try to do the same thing in the original workbook it doesn't.

So if something looks impossible, try testing it in a new workbook.

Much embarassed. In in one of the Workbooks the Name was "Data_Err_Msg_Knt" and in the other workbook it was "Data_Msg_Err_Knt".
